Richard Browne of Lawley

[BronwenS]

Thanks to all and apologies I didn't understand that the part about Ric's heritage was at archives in Shropshire, separate from the other part that you said would be in Latin.  I am in touch with archives regularly in Shropshire having work done to make sure I am on the right track.   

Yes I do indeed have the will and all the various 'fights' litigation between family members post his death mainly - obtainable through British National Archives.  But it is great to see I can see all that through 'google books'. 

Thanks for the ideas around getting a picture of Lawley manor, I had done lots of googling but not found it. 

They seem to have been big on litigation back then. 

Thanks a zillion to you all

If you have not already been able to find a Browne Pedigree in Shropshire which mentions Richard Browne of Lawley, I have one. It is found in the Bigland Pedigree Index Vol VI p. 223.
I have quite a bit of information on this family which I have researched over the years, but my line comes through John Browne of Sowbatch, his brother. The Will of Richard's father, William Browne is found in the PCC Wills under Guilielmis Browne of Rodon(in) dated 8 Jan 1658 proved 13 July 1660. The Pedigree goes back another four generations to Sir Andrew Browne of the County of Cheshire.
Cheers, Gerelle Lovegrove.

Kia ora Gerelle

Many many thanks, I do have lots of bits and bobs on the family.  George Colley & Jane Browne's marriage bond.  Richard Browne's will in latin and things.  I have now got the will you mention from archives but I couldn't see this -on-line: Bigland Pedigree Index Vol VI p. 223.  *

I haven't worked on that tree for some years, I am very busy trying to finalise the first quarter of the tree and get it to family this year.
